Not that it justifies the attempted murder that took place, but there is this........
"The black student did not assault the white student because he refused to be “As racist as possible.” The assault was over the white student not apologizing for the alleged racist remarks made prior to when this was recorded"
I guess the kid that was almost killed was a little shit who liked to hurl racist comments at fellow students and thought he was "safe" because he was at school. From what I read, other students were happy to see the little shit get beat up. Of course, that wasn't a beating, that was attempted murder, another 30 seconds and that kid would have probably died. I mean, the dude was going to smash him with a metal chair, that would have caused major damage.
